About the Book
Using a baseball game format, the study presents scientific evidence that our behavior (baseball, myth, Christianity, alchemy, literature, art, capitalism, genetic engineering) shows we have the potential to evolve at death.
Book Synopsis
The cited study uses two fantasy baseball teams to explain human potential for postmortem evolution and genetic immortality, while examining the mind-body problem.
Balls of Fire explains several discoveries that cast a new light on human history, evolution, consciousness, and the microbial DNA in our bodies.The science reviewed in Balls of Fire builds on The Isis Thesis (2004) and 13 peer-reviewed journal articles (2005-2019). The Isis Thesis is a semiotic study of ancient Egyptian literature, artwork, ritual, and architecture, showing that ancient Egyptian deities are signs for human and microbial DNA. The ancient texts map a gene expression pathway for human evolution that has been secreted by the elite in many cultures. Balls of Fire explains how baseball originated in ancient Egypt to describe this genetic pathway. In addition, other key historical behaviors (farming, fermentation, milk production, myth, Christianity, alchemy, literature, art, capitalism, genetic engineering, machine fascination) model the same viral gene expression network over time for human evolution.
Balls of Fire: A Science of Life and Death won 1st Place in the category "Body, Mind, Spirit" for Reader Views Literary Awards (2015-2016). The study was also a Finalist in the 18th annual Foreword Reviews' INDIEFAB Book of the Year Awards in the Nonfiction Adult category of "Body, Mind, Spirit."
Using a baseball model of two teams, Balls of Fire presents the scientific argument for and against the Isis Thesis through a fantasy-draft of dead and living scientists, philosophers, writers and other creative artists. This book is organized into five sections: Spring Training, Baseball Diamonds, Pregame, Fly-Ball Ferris Wheel, and Opening Day. Balls of Fire exposes the hidden survival message in baseball, culture, alchemy, literary texts, Christianity, world visions, our sciences, and history itself. Welcome to the Game of the Centuries.
In 2006, King presented The Isis Thesis on the microbiological meaning of Ancient Egyptian texts, artwork, ritual, and architecture at the Second International Congress for Young Egyptologists in Lisbon, Portugal.
Review Quotes
Balls of Fire Judy K. King Envision Editions Limited (2015) ISBN 9780976281429 Reviewed by Paige Lovitt for Reader Views (10/15) "Balls of Fire" by Judy K. King covers from ancient Egypt to our modern times. It is a follow up to her book "The Isis Thesis" in which the author decoded ancient Egyptian texts to show that they contain a hidden evolutionary message for mankind. This text discusses how human DNA has been able to survive and evolve in a quantum environment. The author, Judy King, continues her research into the connection between ancient Egyptian texts, such as, "The Egyptian Book of the Dead," and modern science. King notes that the way that the human DNA transitions when we die is similar to the ancient Egyptians spiritual journey of death as demonstrated in their Egyptian signs. King believes that microbiological theories are similar to the afterlife tales of the dead. This includes the legends about Thoth, Osiris, Horus, Seth, and Isis. Throughout time, these legends have repeated themselves and then have demonstrated actual physical evidence through scientific means. Ancient religious literature, art, architecture and rituals also show a correlation between Egyptian gods and the evolution of human and microbial genes and proteins. Our human evolutionary potential is demonstrated through this. She believes that at our death, with the right conditions, we can evolve into a hybrid species. I found "Balls of Fire" by Judy K. King to be fascinating yet incredibly complex. The author obviously invested a great deal of time and energy into researching this phenomenon. King states that baseball was a game created by the pharaonic priesthood. The intent of this game was to demonstrate this scientific knowledge. Using the game of baseball as a method of explaining this knowledge also helps make it easier for the reader to visualize and understand. This book could be used as a textbook for a graduate level course. While reading, I found myself frequently seeking more information via the internet; not because "Balls of Fire" is lacking in anything, rather the newly gained knowledge stimulated my desire to learn more.
